Vania Djavid, MS, LMFT, is a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in supporting individuals who have endured childhood trauma. For Vania, 'trauma' encompasses a broad range of experiences, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, as well as distress stemming from challenging relationships and transitions. Those with experiences of single-event traumas, such as divorce or injuries, or those facing multiple traumas, often grapple with forming a healthy sense of self. At the heart of Vania's therapeutic approach is the commitment to help her clients reconstruct this sense of self, essential for overcoming life's significant challenges. Vania encourages clients to gain insight into maladaptive patterns that affect their relationships and overall well-being, fostering awareness that often leads to healing and fulfillment. Through a collaborative and empathetic process, she guides individuals in uncovering the meanings behind their symptoms, viewing suffering as a pathway to personal growth. Together, Vania and her clients will explore the multifaceted layers of their identities and cultivate skills for emotional awareness and self-confidence, laying the groundwork for a journey toward self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-love.
